Re: Forgot to run lilo

heh it seems kaka beat me to it, and his solution is much simpler. oh well.

here's what i said originally, anyway.

well, this doesn't involve reinstalling, but has some of the same steps.

what you want to do is boot up the install cd. mount all your partitions into /mnt, including dev (into /mnt/dev) and all that stuff. then you can chroot into /mnt, with /bin/bash as the program to run, and edit your lilo.conf, and simply run lilo.

the more "manual" quick install makes you do all this to get your computer to work in the first place, but i assume you used the ncurses setup script, which makes things easier.
